Male Female

So I would like to tell you about a goal that I set for myself and actually achieved. The goal was to get into high school because at that time I realized how much I could gain from the opportunity to study. The reason I achieved the goal is that I wanted to get a job with a good salary, and my parents promised to reward me with a phone. I'm also trying to get into college after that. Achieving this goal wasn't easy because I had to study very hard, and sometimes I lost motivation because it was very tiring, and the amount of homework I had to do was just too much. But reminding myself of the opportunities I could have in life, I just kept going. I also saw that I was getting better. We had problems with English, but when test day came, I did very well. My parents and I were very happy. I was relieved and relaxed, so we had a very enjoyable time.
